Henry's Songbook

        So you circle all the wagons
        And you hide behind the trees
        And you try to find some courage
        On your knees
        And you hear the bugle playing
        But you're the one-man band
        You know this is where you'll have to make
        Your last stand

It used to be that Big John Wayne
Would fight the good fight once again
Find the strength to bear the pain
Stand up till he'd finally fall
But now it's way past movie time
Now it's you that's on the line
Now it's you that's gonna find
If you can stand it all

So, my friend, it's the last stand
The last song from the last band
It's the last note from the last man
But you gave it all you can
The cards came down for the last deal
You're the starving man at his last meal
The movie's on the last reel
With an ending you never planned
She's left you now, so it seems
You tumbled down the last stream
You found out that a final dream
Can disappear so fast
You watch it all just fade away
Now it's down to the last day
The last act of the last play
And you're alone at last

And so it was late last night
She left on the final flight
And you watched as the last light
Went out there in your soul
Take a look around the top
'Cause now you face the final drop
You'll go down fast and you won't stop
Till you've found a very deep hole
You say you're off on the last ride
Remember how she last cried
You know that love at long last died
In silence not in pain
So you lost the last race
Stumble in to last place
Too late to find the one last face
Waiting in the rain

(as sung by Iain MacKintosh)
